westiemum Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Thought you might like to see this short video of my gorgeous friend Iris . She lives with her son Paul and daughter in law Meg in the Adelaide foothillls. We have all become great friends after Meg and Paul took on our most difficult westie rescue Eddie, then a couple of years later took on Missy who needed a new home, to keep him company. They have been the brilliant adoptive 'parents' all rescue services dream of - and Iris has been 'grandmother and westie sitter' to these two beautiful rescue dogs. I'm just so pleased Iris and Missy are still with us. Edited January 24, 2015 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Talk about lucky!!! Iris is da bomb :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Yep TSD - Iris is an amazing woman - I don't know too many 88 year olds who could do this and live to tell the tale - she's a salt of the earth Brit who adores these two rescue westies and it would never have occurred to her not to go to Missy's rescue. What a woman! Edited January 24, 2015 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) You said it VM and T. I can't stop watching that video - Iris would have been devastated if anything had happened to Missy - and thanks to her they are both still with us.

HeelerLove Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 What a lucky lady! Glad both are recovering. Also good to be reassured that my vet responds appropriately to both animal and human emergency situations lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stop watching that video - Iris would have been devastated if anything had happened to Missy - and thanks to her they are both still with us. Iris appeared so nonchalant on TV. So matter of fact. 'My' dogs were being attacked so I just protected them. Paws cross for a full recovery for her :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Brilliant Souff!! I've just relayed your award to Iris - she will be so chuffed!!! She's had a bit of a setback today - her vision is not so good. So collective DOL prayers for Iris please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi all, Have just heard, Iris is on the road to recovery and will hopefully be coming home tomorrow after needing a short re-admission to hospital. Missy has fully recovered. We're talking about having a special gathering of our usual Westie group to give her our award instead!!! Probably after it gets a bit cooler in March. So watch out for the photos!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 My favourite bit is chiding her son for leaving the shovel out. What a fabulous down to earth lady! I love her style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
